Chrissy Teigen Showed Off Her Period Pimples on Twitter

You can always count on Chrissy Teigen to be super real, whether she's sounding off on stretch marks or Donald Trump. Monday night was no different. While bare-faced and wrapped in a towel, she recorded what her skin really looks like when she's on her period.

"This is my skin on my period. Look at it. So angry," she said, poking at a red blotchy spot on her nose. "Ow!"

If you've noticed that you're prone to blemishes, blotches, and breakouts during your period, you're not alone. The culprit: fluctuating hormones. Right before you get your period, your estrogen levels dip, but your testosterone levels (yep, girls have it, too) stays the same. That causes oil to block your follicles, which creates deep, painful zits.

Luckily, there areways to treat acne linked to that time of the month. Try an over-the-counter benzoyl peroxide treatment like Clean & Clear Persa-Gel 10 (it's just $6 at drugstores) to reduce the bacteria that can clog up your skin.

Or, hey, don't stress about fixing the acne. If Chrissy can rock it, so can you.
